Oligarchs and Evacuees

Two postcards arrived from Cascadia Artpost last year. Cascadia explores threads of political injustice and these two hone in on Jeff Bezos and American behaviour in Afghanistan. Cascadia seems to internalise these issues, responding with stamps to commemorate (bear witness to) them and the words spoken and highlighted so we remember and and connect the words to the individuals.

 

 

Red letter day with Ed and Joel

Although I have chosen a rhyming title for this post, and I am pleased to receive mail art from Ed and Joel, this mail art packs a punch and is definately of the protest variety.  

Ed nudges me in a protesting way with the word collaboration boldly across the back of the envelope, inviting me, I think, to add to the red mail art. Could this also be a plea to our 'leaders' to avoid embroiling us in hot-headed misery of conflict? 

The stamp, 'rage begets rage' is the face of a sociopath, manic and grinning, let's hope we can dampen the rage and avoid an insane world afterthought… 

Thanks guys for carrying the protest torch. I will try to add to it.
